Artist: Laurie Berkner
Song: "Laurie and Me"
Album: N/A
Description: It's Laurie Berkner and... an animated Laurie Berkner. It's from the brand new Sprout series Sing It, Laurie!. It's the kids music video version of a pilot, outlining the interstitial series' basic concept and introducing (at least visually) all the characters. No embed for this, just watch it here. (Bonus points for the pig on her head.)
Artist: Bari Koral Family Band
Song: "Anna and the Cupcakes"
Album: Anna and the Cupcakes
Description: I'm sure there are plenty of kids who'll be amused by the song, which is a parable about gluten intolerance (or maybe about kids' fibbing -- could be either), but I'm posting it mostly because I love the animation style of director John Michael Bister.

Artist: Candy Band
Song: "Cookie Jar"
Album: High Five
Description: I would not have anticipated a video for a song about cookies to be so encouraging about fitness, but here you go, as the Detroit band re-energizes the oft-sleepy original about cookie theft.

Artist: Hullabaloo
Song: "High Roller"
Album: High Roller
Description: The title track from the Southern California duo's 2009 album gets repurposed into a "Plush My Ride" TV spoof. I'm actually impressed by Steve Denyes' stroller-modification skills. Check out the safety system.

Artist: The Relative Minors
Song: "Pet"
Album: Ostrich Plays the Bass
Description: A simple but fun song from the Canadian band's 2011 debut album is matched with a simple but fun video. It's the little things that amuse me -- the way singer Kiersten Robertshaw picks up a tambourine and starts playing it, the hip-shaking drummer, Matt Robertshaw's vocal turns straight at the camera. It is -- and I mean this as praise -- dorky and cute.

Song: "Valentine's Song"
Album: N/A
Description: Simple popsicle stick puppets made (and singing about, in multiple languages) love. Yes, I'm one month late with this... but I'm also eleven months early.

Artist: Peter Apel
Song: "Five Little Leprechauns"
Album: Fred's Back!
Description: A simple felt and flannel board-based video to accompany a simple St. Patrick's Day-themed song. I don't think preschoolers are required to wear green in order to watch this, but they probably will be anyway.
